"Part fear and all desire" is the theme song of the Snarry dance--and how beautifully you've captured each uncertain yet inevitable step! What exquisite writing, characterization, and dialogue. I especially enjoy the way you show Harry beginning to understand that, just like Severus himself, Harry clings to outdated behaviors and attitudes--and is terrified by what these old roles reveal as they slip away. Into my slash stash this superb tale goes!
